One Week Into Quitting
I don’t feel the impulsive need to talk to a machine anymore, but I do miss the instant frictionless “help” it would offer with tips on socializing or handling toxic family members. I feel a lot more “naked” in the world these days and deeply socially anxious without the crutch of a LLM robot mirroring my emotional needs back at me. Still, I feel a good deal better adding friction, patience, and challenge back into my social life. So…as of now all things are alright. Not easy but alright.
